Hi Thomas, Thanks, I will start putting compost on soon. Every thing is going well except my gourds, they dont seem to like this latitude or something. My jeruselum artichokes are going crazy they are already 4-5 feet tall. I hope we get a late summer as last year they blossomed - a rare thing here. The tubers are exceptional eating. I went containers with Tomatoes and Peppers to save space. I am just amazed at how responsive plants are to real soil. How are your gardening ventures doing?
